1. I never asked for any of that response, nor did the situation imply that I needed to learn about the points stated to make a better decision. 2. There's a general passive-combative conversation about browsers going on ("I like Firefox, I don't get why people like Chrome" and vice versa) that I never wanted to be a part of, mostly because of how disrespectful and counterproductive it is. 3. In a thread about ad-blocking, I got what is effectively an ad for Firefox. I don't want any of this nonsense on my side of the table. "Use my product because I value it!" No, go away, I don't need this. My choices are rarely uninformed. I spend time considering what to pick where I'm able to. I'd like my choices to be respected as such – not have my face plastered with someone else's unprompted opinion. Here's an example of a better conversation: – I liked this part of Firefox, and I wish it was in Chrome too. – Do you not like Firefox whole, then? If so, why? – Because of X, Y, and Z. I used it intensely for a month or so, so I got a good look at the way it behaves. I know X is solvable, but not Y or Z (I tried), and they're critical to my browsing experience. – Okay, I see. I hope you consider (browser diversity, or whatever issues using Firefox's supposed to solve), because they're important. – Oh yeah? Can you tell me why? ...and so on. A respectful conversation that sparks curiosity and provides context, without annoying any of the parties in the process. Otherwise, you get what you give. Seems a fair approach to me.
